Carl's Jr.
Carl Karcher is the Carl in Carl's Jr. Karcher was born in 1917 in Sandusky, OH. He moved to Anaheim in 1937 to work in his uncle's seed store. He later delivered baked goods and ended up buying one of his stops...a hot dog stand. Karcher and his wife grew the stand into an empire of four before opening Carl's Drive-In Barbeque in 1945. Carl's Jr debuted in 1956, so-named because they were considered "junior" versions of the original drive-in. It was modeled directly after the original McDonald's, which by then was pioneering the modern day fast food industry. Carl's Jr spent the next couple of decades expanding and innovating, introducing several firsts to fast food restaurants like padded seating and partial dining room service. The first out-of-California restaurant opened in 1979. The first franchised location opened in 1984. From there forward, Carl's Jr expanded across the West.

They are basically the same restaurant. Carls Jr. is on the west coast, and Hardees is on the east coast. In Vegas then it would have been Carls Jr.
They both have most of the same stuff, with some differences in some ingredients based on regional preferences (guacamole in the west, grits in the south).

im going against everyone here, i am almost positive that its hardees. they have them in indiana and we always stop when we drive through there. ok actually they both have the star, they must be owned by the same chain.
